This is a poor substitute for a NEAR operator, and I can’t imagine wanting to search for two words, but only if they exist in the same book! There is no NEAR operator, but the Search dialog includes a drop-down box where the user selects whether the Boolean logic is applied against terms within the same verse, the same chapter, or the same book. There’s a pick button for those who want to stop typing and use the mouse to input the operators between words. Operators must be entered in ALL CAPS, or by using logical symbols (&, |, X, !). An implicit OR is supplied if there is no operator between two terms (personally, I think programs should instead AND terms by default, so that using more search terms narrows results rather than expanding them, but that is just a preference). Text searches allow for combining words using the Boolean operators AND, OR, XOR, and NOT. There is no facility to search for Strong’s codes as such, but you can search Strong’s-tagged books with a text search for a code, such as for G2588. Recent search terms can be recalled in the search box, but associated parameters (even including search mode) are not likewise recalled, limiting the usefulness of this time-saving feature. The dialog box includes a pop-up keyboard for “typing” with mouse clicks in various languages. Newer versions of QuickVerse have a fourth mode, Text in Titles, which was an optional parameter to Text mode searches in version 11, and which I never found any use for. The general search tool has three modes (selectable from a drop-down): Text, Phrase, and Verse Reference. The most recent versions of QV introduce a couple other specialized searching tools I’ll discuss below. QuickVerse has two tools for searching Biblical text: an Analytical Greek search tool designed to work with a morphologically tagged Greek NT module, and a general search tool used for searching English language Bible, as well as all other books – including user-created books.
#Quickverse bible software upgrade#
The E-Sword software package is always free, so once you buy a book, you should never have to pay to upgrade it.This is the first installment in a series I plan to write, performing a side-by-side assessment of WORDsearch, Logos, QuickVerse, and Pradis. It appears that none of these excellent companies recharge you for books you already bought. If you want Bible Study Software, go with Logos, BibleWorks, or E-Sword. So…Don’t Buy QuickVerse unless you want to keep buying the same books over and over for the rest of your life. They woman on the phone rudely informed me that they don’t sell books, they sell software, and when the software expires, I have to buy new software if I want to keep reading the books that came with the software. I argued that if I bought a paper book, I could read it as long as I wanted, and wouldn’t have to buy the new edition when it came out. I called and complained and they said that if I wanted to access those old books that I purchased, I have to buy the new software. Well guess what? Now I can’t use any of those books unless I buy the new upgrade. I didn’t really care about the “searching” capability or anything like that, I just wanted a great deal on lots of books. This company is greedy and rigs their software so it eventually stops working, and you have to pay for an upgrade.Ībout seven years ago, I bought one of their Deluxe software packages. Just as a note to my readers… Don’t buy QuickVerse software.
